1 SFX: Riiiing!
1 Ishmael: Excuse me.
2 Phone: Hi, this is the Nigerian Finance Minister. I'm playing "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" and I'm about to win a million dollars, but I need help on the last question.
3 Phone: You're my phone-a-friend lifeline. If you help, I'll give you 20% of the winnings.
3 Ishmael: Sure! What's the question?

I realised I needed Ishmael's last name for this strip, and I hadn't decided on one before now.

I would have used Melville, but that's already the name of his dorm building at the university, so using it as his surname as well would have been too much of a coincidence.
